Product Review: Julep Beach Tonic Dry Body Oil

I received the Julep Beach Tonic Dry Body Oil in my July +Julep Maven monthly subscription box. When Julep shared a sneak peak on their Facebook page of what the beauty product for July was going to be, I was pretty excited because I love the body products I have tried from Julep.

When I received my box on July 2nd, I couldn't wait to try it. I tried it that very night and the following 2 days to discover if it would deliver the results it claimed. Below is what Julep claims:

What It Is: A blend of lightweight yet nourishing oils that moisturize, condition, and restore elasticity and suppleness to the body.

What It Does: Absorbs instantly and leaves a satin finish without a greasy residue. Treatment mist contains a blend of cotton seed oil, rich in cell nourishing vitamin E, and sunflower oil- for deep conditioning and softening of even the driest skin.

How To Use: Mist onto slightly damp skin. Massage in thoroughly. Use whenever and whenever skin feels dry. Can be used under lotion for more skin conditioning. Do not use on face.

Application was easy, just spray & rub in...after the 1st use, I ended up just spraying it into my hands and then applied to skin. This was easier for me because I have problems with my hands that make it difficult to use some sprays.

Cons:

My skin only felt moisturized to the touch while rubbing it in

After it absorbed, it did NOT look like I had applied anything to my skin

My skin looked and felt dry and by the 3rd day of applying; it really looked dry because this is the only "moisturizer" I used for 3 days!!!

So, I am sad to say, that this product was a fail for me. I do have dry skin, so maybe the fine mist is just too fine and lightweight for my skin. I will not be repurchasing this product...I will however, just use the rest of it as an oil-based body spray because I really do like the scent.

Have you tried this product? If so, I would love to hear your what you think about it.
